Hyper Crypt Description
While you may think that encryption is dedicated mostly to the corporate environment, the truth is that everyone can benefit from it. If you use your personal computer to work from home or have a laptop where you store sensitive information about your company, then perhaps it is time to consider encryption.
Hyper Crypt is a lightweight piece of software designed to help you encrypt files, folders and even messages that you want to send via email or IM clients without too much hassle.
Comes with a sleek and appealing interface
Following a quick and uneventful installation, you are welcomed by a stylish, modern and fresh interface. The UI includes three main tabs, namely the Encryption Options, File Encryption and Other Tools.
As you probably hinted, you can type or paste your password in the Encryption Option tab and specify whether you prefer to overwrite the original file or use the HCV file. Locking or unlocking files and directories can be done from the File Encryption tab, whereas the Other Tools comes with various utilities that can help you during the process.
Includes password and hash generator functions
The application includes several utilities that allow you to generate various types of passwords for encryption. Consequentially, you can create a symmetric key of any desired length, asymmetric and HCV with different sizes.
At the same time, the application allows you to generate and compare hashes for various texts and files that you receive via email or download from locations that do not seem secure. It is worth mentioning that the encryption can be done with an AES-256 algorithm, RSA and One-Time Pad.
A nifty tool that can help safeguard your data
In the eventuality that you store valuable information on your laptop or computer and want to make sure that nobody can access it in case something happens, then perhaps Hyper Crypt can lend you a hand.
